"In 2008, the City of Salem purchased 38.52 acres in the southern portion of the former Battle Creek Golf Course and an adjacent residential property (Figure 1). The site is at the confluence of four urban streams (Waln, Battle, Powell and Scotch Creeks), and is crossed by a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodway and extensive floodplains. With this acquisition, the City intends to develop a multipurpose open space area that provides seasonal flood mitigation, environmental enhancement, and passive recreation."

So the question is -- as is often the case -- what do they consider "passive" recreation? I'd say a disc golf course is sort of semi-passive.
